Excellent explanation and pictures. In response to the comment saying
there
were no explanations as to why this would be a good move strategically, I
have to disagree. The advantages are obvious... you take their pawn.

If that isn't enough for some players, that may explain why the rule is
so obscure. 

Thanks for the tip.
